If you do that, I'd also omit to be charged.

@JasonBassford - you run the risk of it being interpreted as a mistake. I listed it for $10 when but I intended to list it for $100. (In general though, I tend to associate low-ball with offers to buy rather than offers to sell. If I list my car for $40,000.00 and some calls up and offers me $20k he's trying to low-ball me. )

You can and why would you want to, please? How would that be helpful?

Actually, if the same verb can work in both the independent and subordinate clause, it is permissible and quite common to omit the verb. This is called an elliptical clause. Here are a couple examples with the implied verb in parentheses:

Bill is taller than I (am).

And this example has an adverb and a past participle, but only an implied verb:

Indeed, "L'Ormindo" is among those works that are more often heard about than (are) actually heard.

‘Actually’ is an adverb. ‘Is’ is a verb. The definition of an adverb is ‘a word that modifies a verb, adjective, another adverb, determiner, noun phrase, clause, or sentence.’ I don’t see how you could remove the verb and keep the adverb, since it is modifying the verb ‘is’ in the sentence.

Not really. "Is" is a helper verb in this case, and "actually" is modifying "intended", so the helper verb can be removed without destroying the sentence, but it would sound odd to the ear.

@lux If this were English Language Learners you could expand your comment into an answer. I am voting to migrate the question there.
